S1E15 Marko Knezic of MKE Bar Dice Co
Check out MKE LOVE online via our site (http://mkelovepodcast.com) and linktree(http://linktr.ee/mkelove). Also, check out the Experience Milwaukee Podcast, who also published an episode with Marko in April, 2020. It could be said that Marko Knezic, founder of MKE Bar Dice Co, is making Milwaukee look, sound, and taste great. Bar dice, I've learned, is an important part of Milwaukee bar culture. When one engages in a game of bar dice at a bar (inferred... it's in the name), it's assumed the experience is accompanied by unique bar visuals, delicious Milwaukee food and drinks, and the sound of dice knocking about in a fancy leather cup. I interviewed Marko on Friday, May 29, 2020, when we discussed... Marko's background, the Milwaukee bar staple known as bar dice, and the launch of MKE Bar Dice in the midst of a global pandemic.  - - Support MKE Bar Dice Co online, on IG, and Facebook. - - It's easy to support MKE LOVE - subscribe, rate and review!
